TABLE OF CONTENTS



Should I buy this?

  1. First time build or into 3D printing? We would recommended against but if you willing to learn along the way it a great project to uptake just do note the whole build can take up to 20-40 hours(2.4) or 12-14 hours(0.1) of your time or more depending on your experience. Experienced builders can build one between 20-30 hours(2.4), 8-10 hours(0.1). The best resources is Voron discord channel link below in resources, the helpful community can answer most question you may have going into this project.
  2. Which project should I undertake? 
    1. Voron 0.1 is bit more difficult due to smaller printer with build volume of 120mmx120mm with CoreXY design with Z lead screw bed. It a great small prototyping printer and overall printer with filament dryer is around 30cmx25cm. The Z axis and frame require a bit more than to get squared due to small size and usage of pre-loaded nut in build process which require double checking or require disassembly if loaded nuts are missed.
    2. Voron 2.4 is popular larger bed size printer (up to 350mmx350mm) with modified CoreXY design with a fixed bed using 4 point gantry tramming to align print surface. It designed to be fully enclosed and suitable for printing ABS/ASA and larger prints.
    3. Trident has all major feature from 2.4 in a more simpler build and overall easier printer to maintain. traditionally it offer limit Z height due to the z rod beds but LDO Motors offer size up to 300x300x300.
  3. LDO Kits dramatically reduce the wiring and electronics stage by using pre-made wiring looms for both 0.1 and 2.4, usually this add around 1-5 hours of wiring and crimping connectors but pre-made looms and LDO documentation can reduce electronics wiring under 1 hour with limit crimping required. The hotend thermeristor/heater is probably the only step require to crimped to suit the LDO hotend breakout board depending on your hotend. If you use a standard heater block the included heater/thermeristor cartridge should be a plug and play for hotend such as Dragon/BMO/BMS etc.
  4. Pre-Order or In Stock? If you unsure which kit would be suitable, feel free to contact our sales support @ [email protected] and request a call back request. We have in stock locally kit, and new upcoming kits from LDO which they continue to add and improve their kit but require some wait time, other wise in stock kit can be dispatched within same business day or pick up for local customers.

How long does it take to print all the required parts?


The print time can depend on your printer but usually around a 1-2 week for Voron 0.1 or around 1-3 weeks for Voron 2.4.


We recommenced ABS+ for the price and easy of printing. Do note we highly recommenced printing in well ventilated room with no pets. (ABS ONLY FOR STRUCTURE PARTS no PETG/PLA) PLA/PETG suitable for outer chamber parts such as display housing, skirts, panels clips, handles. eSUN ABS+ is a good budget option or Polymaker Polylite ASA is another option.
